How to compare quotes for mortgage

Cheapest is not the same as best value for mortgage. A slightly higher quote with a complete scope and no open-ended extras is often safer than the lowest figure with caveats.

Timing your mortgage

Urgent mortgage work is priced for speed: overtime, priority materials and squeezed schedules all add cost. Planning a few weeks ahead is often the simplest way to stay near $15,933.

Budgeting for mortgage

Set aside the typical figure, near $15,933 per $10,000 borrowed, and treat anything closer to $8,517 as a bonus rather than a target. For mortgage, the middle of the range is the realistic number.
